Heritage #Heritage #Worksop Library

Buildings Archaeologist Janine Buckley celebrates the tremendous efforts of the county’s pit ponies. 

With first-hand accounts from former pony drivers and freshly discovered documentary and photographic evidence, this talk delves deeply into the lives of a workforce that gave all they had. Learn how their working conditions changed over time, and how they are remembered by their former handlers. Join us for this fitting tribute to Nottinghamshire’s hidden heroes.

This talk is in memory of Keith Stone (1942-2024), mining heritage researcher and former mining engineer at Bestwood Colliery who contributed to the book.

All attendees will receive a complimentary book.
